Whit Weeks injury adds to LSU’s defensive losses

Linebacker Whit Weeks suffered a fractured lower leg against Texas A&M, underwent surgery and could miss approximately 4–6 weeks, although his recovery timetable remains uncertain. Charles Ross is out for the season with an ACL injury, adding to the losses of Dashawn Spears and Phillip Wright III. Freshman Deuce Geralds is absorbing responsibility and was named SEC Freshman of the Week after recording two sacks against Texas A&M.
